I've started to have some font rendering problem (I assume) with iceweasel (21.0-1 from experimental) recently. Often, after scrolling, the fonts get blurry (looking almost bold face).

I've tried taking a screenshot, but it did not seem to fully capture it. (?) Anyway, you can see it here. You can see a little bit in "However a pure android experience..." (specially the word android). As I said, is more accentuated on my screen.

Make sure in preferences > advanced > general > Use smooth scrolling > is unchecked

Can't see it anything suspicious on your screenshot, but I guess I know what you mean. Had "this" with 21/22 alphas at times, simply scrolling a bit up/down fixed it though. Haven't encountered it with 23 alpha so far, but I guess it isn't really iceweasels fault but GTK issues.

("DejaVu Serif" is my default front, size 16, smooth is enabled [the later being the default, can't remember changing that at least])

Thanks for the replies!

@DonKult: Scrolling did fix it indeed.

@piper: indeed, leaving smooth scrolling unchecked seems to have helped. Thanks for that. (It's funny that it had always been checked without this problem.)
